Cut Few Nerve Bundles Close To Bladder While Prostate Shaved And Is Affecting Sexual Ability

I had my prostate shaved, but now have issues. I do not have prostate cancer, but they may need to remove my prostate. Since it is not cancer, is it not so that they should not have to worry about cutting into the 2 sets of nerve bundles that are close to the bladder, that might result in incontinence, as well as affecting my ability to have sex?

Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
Your concern is understandable.As an Urologist, i assure you, there's nothing to worry about .
The reason being that, the prostate gland is located below the bladder.
The nerve bundles you're worrying about is located outside the gland.
Some degree of incontinence occurs after relief of obstruction, in the immediate period ,after surgery.This lasts for few days to a week or so.
You certainly can have sex in a months time after surgery.The semen after sex will go into bladder, instead of coming out.Tou can contact me if you have any doubt, by name.
